Upbeat Fun Rock Following A Solid Pattern
When Weezer comes on, you’ll know there will be solid lyrics, guitar, fast drums and a singable chorus. Weezer can make great music, no questions, but the creative level from song to song isn’t that magical, and yet they keep coming out with songs that people love, and I proudly am one of those people. The guitar is what stars this song off, and the acoustic sounds great strumming away happily through the song. The drum part is simple but enjoyable. The bass is the most creative instrument, going up and down the bars in a quick fashion. The vocals are good, Rivers is great. His voice is very unique, and he does a fantastic job here as always. The lyrics are good, an interesting tale, but nothing that really stands above a teenage angst love-ish song. The strongest point of the song is the speed and energy the song has, a very fun, “windows down during a hot day while driving” vibe which makes it so good. It unfortunately doesn’t break the constant and continuous mold that is a “Weezer Song.” The album Raditude does explore some other sounds, but none of it is really as good as their standard formula. A good, fun song for all intensive purposes, but it misses the mark for creativity.
